Ten years ago, wildfires caused widespread damage to Slave Lake and the MD of Lesser Slave River. Several wildfires were burning at the same time, all of them human-caused. Last year 88% of wildfires were caused by human activity. #ABWildfire

Firefighters, helicopters and airtankers are fighting an out of control wildfire north of Banff National Park near Black Rock Mountain. This wildfire is currently 120 ha in size and is not threatening any communities or camping sites.
@realDonaldTrump Mr. President, with the growing wildfires, we want to help but keep hitting political red tape. Wildcat Fire Services has the largest privately owned Structural Protection Unit in Western Canada and can protect up to 150 homes at a time. How can we help?
Proper off-highway vehicle care should include keeping a clean exhaust. Be sure to check your hotspots regularly to ensure they’re clear of debris.

Throwback picture to last year, we had the opportunity to work with some other fantastic firefighters from Peerless/Trout Lake Fire Rescue! We are very thankful to meet so many great people along the way!
